the following:
It is now possible to enable/disable a particular protocol decoding
(i.e. the protocol dissector is void or not). When a protocol
is disabled, it is displayed as Data and of course, all linked
sub-protocols are disabled as well.
Disabling a protocol could be interesting:
- in case of buggy dissectors
- in case of wrong heuristics
- for performance reasons
- to decode the data as another protocol (TODO)
Currently (if I am not wrong), all dissectors but NFS can be disabled
(and dissectors that do not register protocols :-)
I do not like the way the RPC sub-dissectors are disabled (in the
sub-dissectors) since this could be done in the RPC dissector itself,
knowing the sub-protocol hfinfo entry (this is why, I've not modified
the NFS one yet).
Two functions are added in proto.c :
gboolean proto_is_protocol_enabled(int n);
void proto_set_decoding(int n, gboolean enabled);
and two MACROs which can be used in dissectors:
OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, pd, offset, fd, tree)
CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, tvb, pinfo, tree)
See also the XXX in proto_dlg.c and proto.c around the new functions.

- add <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h> in snprintf.h
and remove those inclusions in the other #ifdef NEED_SNPRINTF_H codes
- remove the check of multiple inclusions in source (.c) code
(there is a bit loss of _cpp_ performance, but I prefer the gain of
code reading and maintenance; and nowadays, disk caches and VM are
correctly optimized ;-).
- protect all (well almost) header files against multiple inclusions
- add header (i.e. GPL license) in some include files
- reorganize a bit the way header files are included:
First:
#include <system_include_files>
#include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>
Then
#include "ethereal_include_files"
with the correct HAVE_XXX or NEED_XXX protections.
- add some HAVE_XXX checks before including some system header files
- add the same HAVE_XXX in wiretap as in ethereal
Please forgive me, if I break something (I've only compiled and regression
tested on Linux).

dissectors to be registered as dissectors for particular ports,
registered as heuristic dissectors, and registered as dissectors for
conversations, and have routines to be used both by old-style and
new-style dissectors to call registered dissectors.
Have the code that calls those dissectors translate the arguments as
necessary. (For conversation dissectors, replace
"find_conversation_dissector()", which just returns a pointer to the
dissector, with "old_try_conversation_dissector()" and
"try_conversation_dissector()", which actually call the dissector, so
that there's a single place at which we can do that translation. Also
make "dissector_lookup()" static and, instead of calling it and, if it
returns a non-null pointer, calling that dissector, just use
"old_dissector_try_port()" or "dissector_try_port()", for the same
reason.)
This allows some dissectors that took old-style arguments and
immediately translated them to new-style arguments to just take
new-style arguments; make them do so. It also allows some new-style
dissectors not to have to translate arguments before calling routines to
look up and call dissectors; make them not do so.
Get rid of checks for too-short frames in new-style dissectors - the
tvbuff code does those checks for you.
Give the routines to register old-style dissectors, and to call
dissectors from old-style dissectors, names beginning with "old_", with
the routines for new-style dissectors not having the "old_". Update the
dissectors that use those routines appropriately.
Rename "dissect_data()" to "old_dissect_data()", and
"dissect_data_tvb()" to "dissect_data()".

Add exceptions routines.
Convert proto_tree_add_*() routines to require tvbuff_t* argument.
Convert all dissectors to pass NULL argument ("NullTVB" macro == NULL) as
the tvbuff_t* argument to proto_tree_add_*() routines.
dissect_packet() creates a tvbuff_t, wraps the next dissect call in
a TRY block, will print "Short Frame" on the proto_tree if a BoundsError
exception is caught.
The FDDI dissector is converted to use tvbuff's.

UDP and into the handoff registration routines for the protocols in
question.
Make the dissectors for those protocols static if they're not called
outside the dissector's source file.
Get rid of header files if all they did was declare dissectors that are
now static; remove declarations of now-static dissectors from header
files that do more than just declare the dissector.

to a type requiring 2-byte or better alignment and was then
dereferenced; doing that requires that the code generated by your
compiler not trap if it makes an unaligned reference, and on most RISC
processors the code generated by the compiler *will* trap on an
unaligned reference by default.

Added lots of #ifdef HAVE_*_H wrappers.
Added some #defines in config.h.win32
Check for more headers in configure.in
Added prototype for inet_aton() in inet_v6defs.h.
Changed "BYTE" token (i.e., #define) in ascend-gramamr.y because it
conflicts with a windows definition. Use HEXBYTE instead.

- now prints RFC1771 withdrawn prefixes
- COMMUNITIES are now fully supported
- AS_PATH fixes (output formatting, used snprintf and not sprintf,
AS_PATH broken into separate subtree, and for now will
ignore confederation types until we support them)
- AGGREGATOR fixes, now prints again in tree header
- made capitalization consistent (first words capitalized, rest lower
case)
- lots more commenting
- other minor corrections
- started work on route reflector attributes

dynamically-assigned "ett_" integer values, assigned by
"proto_register_subtree_array()"; this:
obviates the need to update "packet.h" whenever you add a new
subtree type - you only have to add a call to
"proto_register_subtree_array()" to a "register" routine and an
array of pointers to "ett_", if they're not already there, and
add a pointer to the new "ett_" variable to the array, if they
are there;
would allow run-time-loaded dissectors to allocate subtree types
when they're loaded.

show detail of path attribute to outside of the tree, to help users
browse the structure. BGP protocol header structure is very complex
and the previous code required users to click through the tree to check,
say, AS path.

as BGP is a protocol on top of TCP, it may have trouble parsing
out-of-sync data (in most cases data is aligned on packet, it seems).
